Mackerel fishing. I walk along Seaford's shingle beach, and at 0m42 I meet a fisherman. At 2m07 he realises he has a catch. You can hear the ratchet as he reels the line in. At 2m21 one fish escapes. At around 2m45 you can hear the two landed fish flapping around on the shingle. The fisherman walks over to them and at 2m58 to 3m23 you hear 4 blows to the necks to kill the fish. At 3m11 he tells me they are mackerel. At 3m30 he rubs his bloody hands in the shingle, then walks to the water's edge to rinse them. Zoom H4 recorder. August 2007. You might hear a slight drone from a small motorboat on the horizon.

love these sounds, they are so clear, peaceful and relaxing (although not to the fishes, I guess). But even like more your description/story, reading it's a pleasure. Please keep teaching me new words!

This is great -- the sound of the shingles is very clear; I love the eery effect of the mackerel being clubbed to death. Excellent stuff!!
